Let me add this.  This is the "guts" of the C++ program I'm trying to
duplicate.  I ripped out the non essential code such as error checking,
debug output and statistic gathering.

Any suggestions on how to implement this in Java would be helpful.

            SSL_library_init ();
            SSL_METHOD *method;
            method = SSLv3_client_method ();
            ptrCTX = SSL_CTX_new (method);

            if (!SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list (ptrCTX, "ADH")) {
            ptrSSL = SSL_new (ptrCTX);
            int xx = SSL_set_fd (ptrSSL, fdSocket);

            SSL_load_error_strings ();
            SSL_set_connect_state (ptrSSL);
            sbio = BIO_new_socket (fdSocket, BIO_NOCLOSE);
            SSL_set_bio (ptrSSL, sbio, sbio);

            retcode = SSL_connect (ptrSSL);
            retcode =
                SSL_write (ptrSSL, (const void *) message.c_str (),
                           message.length ());
                retcode = SSL_read (ptrSSL, response, 200);

      SSL_shutdown(ptrSSL);
      SSL_free(ptrSSL);
      SSL_CTX_free(ptrCTX);

Thanks,
Jim.
